Rules rulz...and we just follow 'em. And if you don't, and you let a team score a rebound basket when you should have killed the play, and you're maybe in a situation where you're being evaluated or that basket could make a difference in the game, you could find yourself lip-deep in doo-doo.

This will be fun to explain. I'm envisioning a 2 on 1 break B1 makes a beautiful pass to B2 who proceeds to miss the lay up. And B1 one follows up with a nice tip in (or quick put back) which we have to wave off b/c the ball became dead after the initial miss....
This will then lead to waiting for A1 to get cleared from the floor, followed by 2 FT's for Team A and the ball out of bounds for team A while A coach is now "seatbelted"
